About Sunrise Group
Sunrise Group is building the future of sleep health by combining breakthrough technology with expert care. We started in 2015 with a straightforward idea: sleep diagnosis should happen in the comfort of your own home, not in a hospital. To make that possible, we created a first-of-its-kind chin sensor, carefully validated through clinical research, reviewed by leading sleep experts, and cleared by the FDA.
Since then, Sunrise Group has grown from a single innovation into a complete sleep health company. We now design advanced diagnostic and treatment solutions, and we deliver care directly to patients through Dreem Health, our digital sleep clinic. By serving patients in all 50 states with reimbursed care, we are making sleep treatment more accessible, more personal, and much simpler than it has ever been.
As a Python Back-end Developer, you will play a key role in scaling our digital sleep clinic. You will be responsible for building and improving back-end systems that are robust, secure, and compliant with healthcare standards. Working closely with product managers, designers, and other developers, you will help us deliver high-quality healthcare solutions that have a real impact on patients’ and providers’ lives.
Our Back-end Tech Stack: Python, Django, Celery, PostgreSQL, Google Cloud Platform (mainly Cloud Run), Docker, Terraform, Datadog, Sentry, GitHub. Our team is also familiar with TypeScript, Node.js.
Our Tech Challenges:
- Supporting our rapid growth by automating recurring workflows for the medical, billing, sales teams, and delivering new features for patients and providers.

- Integrating with external partner APIs while managing complex data synchronization.
- Safeguarding the security and integrity of sensitive health data, with a strong focus on regulatory compliance (HIPAA, GDPR).
- Continuously enhancing the performance, reliability, and maintainability of our back-end systems.
We are a team of 10 developers, juniors and seniors, working remotely across France and Belgium. We value trust, autonomy, and collaboration, and we believe in maintaining a healthy balance between delivering impact and enjoying our work.
